Hey evry time i instal a e-smith server
i allways ad in the tool webmin (http://www.webmin.com/webmin/)
i think that this might be a good tool to addin to the install of e-smith
if any one has ued it thay know as well as i do its a grate thing to
have when somthing goes wrong.

From a quick glance it appears that Webmin isnt needed on the E-Smith server. If Im right, Webmin allows you to configure the server; users, samba file shares etc. These things are already taken care of by the E-Smith web based manager. Some of the other things that Webmin appears to do may be useful, but I suspect not. E-Smith is a pretty lightweight server, and any required user configuration is already provided.

Im not saying you shouldnt use it - Im just saying you probably dont need to.

Thanks for the post.

well a good thing about webadmin is you can take out thepart you dont need

and if you want to do any kinda of advanced config on the e-smith
there simply isnt any way to do it short of loading all your
nromal linux tools on to the drive (now that isnt fun)

oh well i am not syaing evry one needs it but it does makea nice
tool for when things go wrong like i said

and as we all know things WILL go wrong with computers
not sayign with e-smith but some times things just happen LOL
